rodgers would have gotten some points at detroit had he not got hurt and stayed in. flynn likely got no reps and went in cold. with reps flynn played pretty well against the pats the next week.

Mon, 31 Jan 2011 11:44:21 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=108371#comment-942981This is getting rediculous with all these stats they throw at you you when you have two (2) great football teams and anybody can win. All they want to do is sell papers and CTA

John my boy…you need to stop taking halucinengents! Seriously, the packers DO NOT have an advantage. First, they lost the last time these 2 teams played even when the Steelers were without Polomolu! Second, thier inflated stats have been against teams that truly weren’t very good this year. Example, they played 6 of thier 16 games against Minnesota, Detroit & Chicago (completely overated). After that, they played Philly, Buffalo, Washington, Miami, Jets, Dallas, Atlanta, San Francisco, New England & the Giants. After a season against those teams, they barely made it to the playoffs. A supperior team against those should come out of it at worst 11 – 5 & truly closer to 12-4, aain…if they were a superior team!

Mon, 31 Jan 2011 05:09:22 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=108371#comment-942924It’s comical how all year long the Steelers were projected to fail with all the “experts” predicting a 8-8 season & missing the playoffs. But low & behold…the Steelers expose the experts for what they truly are, mere voice boxes to lobbyists & marketers…with thier “expertise” apparently limited to holding thier “junk” but that’s about it!!! These “experts” need to relinquesh thier microphones & pens because low & behold, the Steelers again prove they are the AFC’s most superior team. And now, again the “experts” are ready to crown thier opponent victor without the game having been played yet!!! At this point, I’m excited! Experts…PHhhhh….LOL. Yeah right!

Mon, 31 Jan 2011 03:39:22 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=108371#comment-942877for those of yunz that think the Peckers have the faster receivers, let me introduce you to Mike Wallace, Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown.

And thats after we throw to Heath Miller and Hines Ward
As long as James Harrison doesn’t get held like every other week, Aaron Rodgers won’t have time to find anyone open

Thats not really true. Conditions can favor one team more than another. Teams with a strong running game gain an advantage in wet, cold, wind (all make it tough for an aerial attack)… so yes, the steelers may play better indoors but the dome conditions actually accentuate the packers advantage in receiver speed and depth and rodgers precision and helps to marginalize the fact that Steelers have a superior running game. In any case, should be a good game. The two best teams in football this year rose to the top.

I realize Roethlisberger was out the first four weeks. But Dixon didn’t exactly play bad in that game, as he was 18/26 for 236 yards. I was directing my comment to stairwayto7, who somehow forgot the Packers scored 48 in Atlanta. And in the game they scored 17, Rodgers threw for 344 yards.

Also, whose fault was it that Dennis Dixon was at QB? And QB is one of 11 players on offense. Like I said, Dixon didn’t play horribly, but they scored 15 points.

Gotta feeling Mason Crosby is gonna be involved at the end of this one.

Packers scored 31 at Minn, 3 in Det and 17 in Atl and 48 again in Atl in domes! So twice they were held under 17 points in a dome and LOST 2 TIMES BY AVERAGE DEFENSE! STEELERS BY 14……

Dont forget that Sanders and Brown are speedsters too . Didnt Arizona have the better offense going into SB 43 ? See how that turned out didnt you ?

Is the Pittsburgh defense anything like it was last year when the Packers scored 36 against it in Pittsburgh?

Didn’t the Packers score like 13 points in Atlanta in the regular season? They never faced a def like they are next week!
==============================
Well, 17 to be exact. also put 48 up on them the second time they played them, in the playoffs, also in Atlanta.

You mean like the Bears, Eagles and Jets who they all beat once and two teams twice? I wouldn’t reference Atlanta in the regular season after the playoffs, either.
